Question

What equation represents the line that passes through (-6,7) and (-3,6)

Answer 1

Explanation:

y - 7 = (6 - 7)/(-3 - (-6)) (x - (-6))

y - 7 = -1/(-3 + 6) (x + 6)

y - 7 = -1/3 (x + 6)

Answer 2

Equation is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1); where m is given by (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

y - 7 = (6 - 7)/(-3 - (-6)) (x - (-6))
y - 7 = -1/(-3 + 6) (x + 6)
y - 7 = -1/3 (x + 6)
